When adults act like crap, mature children can call them out for. You're starting to sound like GWL...

Lying on the hill, crawling over the windowsill into your living room, they stare out, glass-eyed aimless heads, bodies torn by vultures. You are the man whose hands are rank with the smell of death. - Peter Hammill, "The Emperor in His War Room"

Adults really need to get off their superiority high-horse. Although adults might have been more intelligent than children a few decades ago, the rise of technology and the Internet has completely levelled the playing field.

And children need to have respect for adults, plain and simple. I am so tired of brat children acting like they own the world when adults know a Hell of a lot more.

Your so vain, I bet you think this song is about you, don't you, don't you. If you want respect, don't call people names.

LOL. This is the case in point. Apparently you can't read, or at least you choose not to read.

Why? Admittedly, there are a lot of children who don't know what they're talking about, but there are also a lot of adults that act this way too.

I really don't think you're the best one to be preaching this case. if you got RoyLatham to say it, for example, that would be an entirely different story.

respect is a two way street sista

Epsilon: There are so many stories where some brave hero decides to give their life to save the day, and because of their sacrifice, the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everybody lives happily ever after. But the hero... never gets to see that ending. They'll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference. They'll never know if the day was really saved. In the end, they just have to have faith.

I don't. In those days, it was socially acceptable to attack gay couples in public, discriminate against women and racially discriminate. To return to the kind of culture people sentimentalize as "the good old days" would be, for me at least, dreadful.

Yeah, I definitely agree with this. As far as I'm concerned, there are no "good old days".
